Review: Black Lust by Karyn Gerrard

Lucius Black lives a debauched and wild nightlife. Being a ‘Quarter’ (1/4 vampire), blood and sex are what he is. However, his existence wears thin after a century of hedonistic pleasure.

Trevina Patterson lives a quiet, happy life running a hair salon in a village on the east coast of the United Kingdom. It was a perfect life and all she could ask for, until a chance encounter with Lucius Black.

What was it about him that was so unsettling and yet so attractive?

For Lucius, no woman had ever been enough, until Trevina. She awakened in him feelings he had not thought possible. Passions considered by him to be little more than vampiric mythology. She awakened his...black lust.

Lorien's Review

Black Lust is an intriguing paranormal romance story filled with emotions and well-developed characters. Lucius Black is a Dhampire, a quarter vampire who enjoys his debauched playboy lifestyle. That is until he meets Trevina, a hairdresser who stirs up his lust for a change. While her beauty is plain, he finds an instant attraction toward her that he can’t deny. From their first encounter, you can sense their desire and inner conflict. We also get a glimpse of his Dhampyre cousin, Wolfram and Jessilynn’s relationship.

The characters definitely grabbed my attention and pulled me into their exciting world. There was plenty of emotional depth and erotic romance to sink your teeth into the characters and invest in their happy ending. Not to mention, the sex scenes were steamy and deliciously hot! The suspenseful plot and background of the family’s history added another layer to the story. A great read for fans of erotic and dark paranormal romance.
